3.8.3 Reference Point Switch
The M-235 is equipped with a direction-sensing reference point switch, which is
located at about the midpoint of the travel range. This sensor sends a TTL signal
indicating whether the linear actuator is on the positive or negative side of the
reference point switch.
The rising or falling edge of this signal can be used to indicate a known reference
position. The difference in the reference points when approached from the positive or
the negative side is about 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm.
See the controller user manual and/or associated software manuals for the commands
which make use of the reference point signal.
For further details, refer to the "Specifications" section (p. 37).
